Come & stay on Deasys Road ... Close to the best Hunter Valley restaurants, golf courses & premium, boutique wineries. Close to concert venues, especially Bimbadgen (2mins) and on the Rover Motors bus route for pickups and drop offs (for concerts at Bimbadgen, Hope Estate and Roche Estate). Hire a bike from next door & explore the gorgeous countryside of Pokolbin.

Our quaint 'granny flat' is located at the back of our triple garage. Whilst on the same property as the main residence, the space is still private and secluded with a beautiful outlook. We provide a cheese platter and wine for you to enjoy upon your arrival, as well as a breakfast 'starter' pack.

Our location is central to many fantastic wineries and restaurants. Many of these are within walking/riding distance, with others a short drive away.

Awesome place to stay! Excellent value!!! Very close to wineries. To be honest i dont know why you would bother with spending $200 or $300 at a hotel in the area when you could stay here and get so much more!!! Definatley would recommend!

Melissa2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

Ellen and her family were fantastic. Ellen was prompt in responding to any questions I had and gave spot on directions. Ellen was available through Air BnB messages or phone for recommendations and tips for the area. The place was clean and exactly what we wanted and needed. The cheese platter, wine and breakfast provisions were a wonderful added extra. Conveniently located in the middle of everything the Hunter has on offer. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you to Ellen and her lovely family.

Sarah2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

Great location close to all the wineries. We were greeted to a cheese board and bottle of sparkling. Would recommend!

Perfect accommodation to visit the many wineries/ concerts or great food venues.
We look forward to hosting your stay and look forward to sharing our amazing place in the Hunter Valley. Please check out our reviews

Your hosts Phillippa and Glenn are so happy we can share our piece of paradise with you.
We are at the centre of the Hunter Valley with a cellar door next door and the concerts just one street away makes this your ideal holiday or getaway.
The stately driveway sets the scene as private and tranquil setting prepares you for a relaxing holiday and to enjoy the local vineyards and entertainment.
Outside you will find the pristine pool with deck chairs or go for a walk where you will find the property and includes a large Dam, Rainforest and wineries surrounding it including next door. If you enjoy walking there is a road that goes around the entire property where you will enjoy the tranquil setting or you can drive around it to see what it has to offer. It is 3.3kms to Bimbadgen estate or an extra 2.3kms to Hope Estate making it a perfect position if your going to the concerts.
We have a horses Melody, and Remi, and also a pet puppy Buffy that lives with us. She is a tiny tea cup Chihuahua that stays with us. We also have a lovely Border Collie, Kale who loves a pat and two miniature ponies called Teddy and Dolly.
Full Breakfast is included which is supplied to have at your leisure and pod coffee machine also included. You will find in your private fridge, juice, milk, butter and bacon. In your hamper basket you will find fresh daily eggs, cereal, toast ( plain and thick cafe raisin toast), muffins, tea, sugar, salt and pepper and sauces. You can either cook in the kitchen or on the back verandah on the BBQ which is very easily operated.
We take great pride in our property and everything the Hunter Valley has to offer and welcome any requests.
There is many places for wine tasting along our road, which incorporates many of the best wineries in the area.
We hope you enjoy your stay and look forward to meeting you.

We love the Hunter Valley and everything it has to offer. From the amazing vineyards, chocolate shops, cheese shops, restaurants and many things to do- it's the perfect getaway in the perfect setting.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Phillipa and Glen were fantastic hosts, extremely welcoming and they offered many great suggestions for things to see and do in the area. The little extras, including all the breakfast food you could want, a welcome bottle of wine/beers, outdoor spa and a wine tasting at Degen made our stay all the more special. Would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the Hunter Valley. We will definitely be back.

Cate2014-06-17T00:00:00Z

Philippa and Glenn went truly above and beyond what we expected of our hosts - from arrival to our departure. What struck me the most is the pride they take in maintaining their accommodation. A great attention to detail made all the difference during our stay - sharp knives, fresh eggs and fresh towels and soaps were greatly appreciated by us during our stay. As hosts, they were fantastic - from sharing their personal favourite spots at the Hunter, to a drive at the property for some kangaroo sight-seeing, we really felt as if we were staying with old friends helping us to experience the Hunter to the full! Pip even helped book us in to some local restaurants and the cellar next door. The location of the property was so convenient that all of us were surprised how quickly we were able to get around the Valley - this really allowed us to pack a lot into our schedule and still be back for some relaxing pool and spa time over a glass or two of wine. I would love to come back to the Sutton Estate, and highly recommend staying here for a truly relaxing and memorable getaway!

Ryan2014-02-17T00:00:00Z

This was my second time staying here and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Marvelous couple, beautiful accommodation and I couldn't recommend staying here enough! Bubbly on arrival, and lots of little extras included like lovely fresh eggs and bacon in the morning. Will definitely come again... Little piece of heaven.

Katie2014-09-01T00:00:00Z

Amazing! Had everything you needed, clean calm and inviting. Hosts were so helpful and provided nice little touches. Very much recommend!

Natasha2014-11-24T00:00:00Z

Pip and Glenn where amazing hosts, very welcoming, warm and helpful with lots of local knowledge. The property is beautiful and in a great location. Glenn even started a fire for us every evening outside!! I would highly recommend staying at this property to anyone visiting the Hunter Valley.

saskia2015-07-25T00:00:00Z

Our weekend away at Suttons Estate was excellent. We would recommend it and would definitely return. We felt at home right from the start. Pip & Glenn are great hosts. The accommodation was as described and the apartment was well equipped. The breakfast was really good and there was no rationing (e.g., we had whole loaves of bread, litres of milk & juice etc). The Electric Bikes they have for hire are fun, but make sure you find out about the booster switch.

Maree2015-04-08T00:00:00Z

Lovely place - would highly recommend! Glenn and Philippa were fantastic hosts - very welcoming and the bottle of wine was much appreciated ;)

Michael2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

We had such an amazing stay at Phillippa and Glen's place. The cabin and property were beautiful and they just have everything sorted - transport, activities, even an escape room (do it!). They were brilliant hosts and just the loveliest people. Would recommend to anyone staying in the Hunter!

Nice apartment, very clean and tidy, in a very quiet residential estate on s golf course/resort. Perfect for a couple for a night or two

Carly2017-05-24T00:00:00Z

Heather was a wonderful host for my partner and I and we would both recommend her accommodation to any of our friends. Her place is nestled superbly amongst beautiful gardens, great amenities and was extremely neat, clean and homey. We felt very welcome. Thanks Heather hopefully we'll see you again soon.

Karen2016-12-17T00:00:00Z

Vintage de Vine is a clean, modern and comfortable venue that suited our needs very well. Heather was a lovely host and anticipated our needs. Our accommodation was close to plenty of wineries and restaurants however as is the case for anywhere in the Hunter Valley, accessibility is difficult if you don't have a car/don't intend to use a car while exploring.

Vintage de vine is a lovely place to stay. It's comfortable, very clean, and beautifully decorated. Heather is a very kind & welcoming host. We arrived early than planned and Heather was very accommodating. We highly recommend staying here. Amanda & Mel

Amanda2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

Heather was very welcoming and provided a wonderful list of local suggestions for dining. The accomodation was very clean and tastefully decorated. The location was peaceful and private. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing stay.

Divya2016-11-12T00:00:00Z

Thanks Heather for such a lovely stay. Your place was exactly what we needed, cosy, close to all attractions and we felt right at home! We enjoyed all the little attention to detail like the bottle of wine and fruit bread (what a lifesaver that was when we slept in the next morning). Also our little Hayden especially enjoyed the soft bed and your beautiful garden as well. Looking forward to coming back (possibly with a few extra people as well!).

A great place to stay in while visiting Hunter Valley. Very clean & close to all of the main spots. Would recommend!

Chris2017-01-09T00:00:00Z

Nikki was a very accommodating host. Despite having a family emergency, she still managed to respond to my messages promptly. The place was lovely and close to Hunter Valley attractions such as, McGuigan's Complex and Hunter Valley Cheese Co., Hunter Valley Gardens, Tempus II (or now Roche Estate) as well as restaurants such as Amanda's on the Edge and Enzos. My boyfriend and I loved our stay and Nikki was very generous in allowing us a late checkout on Monday (which we thoroughly needed given our wine tour that morning!!). The only thing that is missing is that there is no stove (which is really only an issue if you planned to cook) but other than that, the place is wonderful!

Monica (Mu)2016-06-14T00:00:00Z

The apartment was lovely, clean and comfortable. Couldn't ask for more. Nikki was very accommodating by allowing us to extend an extra night at the last minute. Thanks for such a great stay!

Amanda2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

The villa was very comfortable and perfect as a base for our vineyards weekend. Nikki contacted me before or stay to confirm details and offer local information.

Loved the place. Had everything we needed. Was true to photos and description. Julie was helpful and prompt. Central to wineries and eating places were a easy 5 min drive.

Nigel2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Julie's house was absolutely beautiful, a perfect spot to be based in for a few days in The Hunter Valley. The house was clean and so spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated which made it feel like a proper plush home away from home. The location was perfect, blissfully quiet, evening drinks on the balcony overlooking woodland and hopping kangaroos. Yet a quick drive to the heart of The Hunter Valley. We rented bikes which were delivered to the house and the cycle from the house around Polkolbin was pleasurable but yet strenuous enough to feel that the wines were well deserved! The bedrooms were huge and the beds so comfortable. Bathroom and kitchen immaculately clean and spacious. All in all Julie's house was just bliss. Thanks for having us.

The apartment is spacious with ensuites for each bedroom and a good size kitchen for meal preparation . There is also a very nice restaurant on the premises and a great cafe for breakfast and early morning coffee. It was very peaceful especially on Saturday when the Hunter can be quite noisy and busy. Our Grandson loved seeing the wallabies from our balcony each morning. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic apartment! This was our first trip to the Hunter Valley and we would definitely stay at John's apartment again and have already recommended it to our friends and family. It was really spacious, modern, very well furnished and had everything we needed and more. A beautiful spot on the hill and so central to the Hunter Valley wineries. We had great communication with John from beginning to end and we are very much looking forward to coming back again soon! Thanks John!

This is a great villa in a great location. 6 of us stayed here - there was plenty of space and everyone loved the place. It's every bit as nice as the pictures, very clean, very comfortable ad fully equipped. It's also within short driving distance of lots of great wineries which is exactly what you want in the Hunter Valley :-) The host Michael was very accommodating with our requests regarding bed configuration and late checkout. I would happily stay here again :-)

Great place to use as a base to explore by car, while also providing a chance for a relaxed, romantic night in. Larger than expected with a good layout & full kitchen which makes it perfect for when you're craving home cooked pasta! While joining onto the cellar door, it is quiet with complete privacy. We enjoyed the location - Audrey Wilkinson and Tallavera Grove are my recommendations for the immediate area with incredible views. Nanna Kerr's kitchen right down the road is great for a relaxed meal too. Also make sure to have a tasting (or just drink the wine in the fridge like we did ;)) & chat with the really friendly staff. Snacks & wines are available for purchase within the apartment... complete with a Penfolds wine fridge which was a lovely touch to keep the wine at that perfect temperature! Bread, milk, jams & cereals & complimentary chocolates were appreciated along with the Nespresso machine & tea selection. It was also nice to relax in the afternoon with a spa. Recommend for a nice alternative to a hotel.

Zoe2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

Gundog Estate Retreat was fabulous! My partner and I stayed for two nights and had a great time. The apartment was very spacious (very large for the two of us) and clean. Bread, milk, jams, cereals and chocolates were provided complimentary along with the Nespresso machine & tea selection which was a nice touch if you didn't want to head out for breakfast. The apartment contained all the necessities including shampoo and conditioner etc. and the large spa bath was also nice to come home too after a long day of wine and cheese tasting. We will certainly be back next time we visit the Hunter!

Beautiful, spacious apartment perfect for a girl's weekend in the Hunter or a family trip. We stayed one night for a wedding and the apartment was well situated, very comfortable and clean. Our hostess had kindly left us milk and cereal for breakfast the next day. Very affordable.

Eliza2016-12-03T00:00:00Z

The breakfast food/milk was so helpful in starting our stay. Excellent value for money and a lovely host.

Skye2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

Our host was very welcoming and easy to communicate with prior to and during our stay. The accommodation was fine, we had most things we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were superb. Having a car would be beneficial.

Very friendly host and a really cute place. We had an amazing stay. Would stay here again to visit the close by vineyards.

We are very happy about the time spent in Cessnock. Alison's cottage is located on a small and quiet street. The location suited our needs perfectly - 10 minute drive to Balloon Aloft and Vineries. Alison and her husband are a very nice and welcoming couple.

Roomy, comfortable and clean cottage with super hosts. Vase of fresh flowers greeted us in kitchen. Outdoor seating area in both front and back garden of cottage. Close enough to walk to Australia Hotel for meals and a bit further to town centre with public pool, shops, restaurants and services. Great location for touring the Hunter Valley and its vineyards. When we left, our host Denis knew our next destination was the local zoo and caught up with us to return our earphones we had forgotten to pack. Does it get any better than that? It does as our hostess Alison made a beachfront lodging recommendation that fit our budget for our next stop after I had spent considerable time researching on line without success.

Craig was a great host! Regular and prompt contact; informative and great advice regarding the area and where to go/what to see; great breakfast - unlike many times where if you want to sleep in a little bit, then you'll miss breakfast - Craig very generously adapted to our schedule, and cooked an excellent breakfast :) - and he went above and beyond our expectations and gave us lifts to transport links so we could best enjoy the event we were attending - very much appreciated!

Jane2016-03-06T00:00:00Z

Craig was a terrific host, super friendly and helpful. He supplied a beautiful breakfast with home made yoghurt amongst other lovely elements. Thanks again

Craig was a fantastic host! Friendly, very welcoming and more than willing to go the extra mile. He made our stay extra special by letting us sample some of his wonderful home made food, dropping us off places and collecting us and we even got to share a glass of wine or 2 together. We will hopefully be staying with Craig if we ever go to the Hunter Valley for a visit.

Abi2015-04-05T00:00:00Z

Craig was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the Hunter region/wine in general. His home was equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay, and he had great recommendations about where to visit to share over breakky:)

Megan2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Great Host! My partner and I stayed at Craigs overnight for a friend's wedding. Craig was extremely helpful and his complimentary breakfast was delicious. Definitely would stay again.

Simon and Rachel2015-11-14T00:00:00Z

Craig made us feel welcome from the very first time we met him. The place was clean and the breakfast marvellous. Nice place for a romantic get away and to relax away from the big city.

'Daniel's Restaurant opened in May 2015 & we now have available our re-furbished accommodation area, perfectly suited for one or two couples. Your own entrance, your own space, yet next to this popular new restaurant, minutes from downtown Cessnock as well as the Wineries & Vineyards of the Pokolbin region and the major concert locations of our area, so very convenient location to stay. Local people, local knowledge. We also can arrange any breakfast or meal requirements, so why not stay.

We are also offering some breakfast packages, firstly a ' Continental Breakfast Package ' @ $15.00 per person per day, self served in the apartment or if you wish for a full Hot Breakfast with Fruit, Yoghurt, Espresso coffee served in our restaurant cost is $30.00 per person per day. We also can offer you lunch or dinner in our lovely restaurant. The apartment only has facilities for tea & coffee making, the kitchen is not fully equipped .....

The wineries of the lower Hunter Valley are minutes from your front door ...

Wow, What Incredible Hosts! Plus, delicious food at Daniel's Restaurant!!! (back to that in a moment) I would like to personally thank Daniel and his lovely wife Lyndal for going out of their way to make our weekend extra special. We visited the Hunter to see the Bruce Springsteen concert over the weekend. We were devastated to arrive and find out that our 2 year old son could not attend the concert at Hope Estate. Apparently, the concert was 18+ only, but that wasn't advertised anywhere. Left to find an emergency babysitter at last minute, Daniel stepped in to assist and offered that his wife and mother in-law take care of our son, as they would have their three lovely kids for the night anyway. He then offered to drive us to and from the concert bus as there was a big storm rolling in. Honestly, the level of compassion and support we received was nothing short of amazing. With a busy restaurant to run, Daniel still found time to take care of us when ever we needed! Back to the restaurant … We decided to stay local on Friday night and ordered from Daniels ala carte menu. OMG … the rib eye steak was cooked to reflections and my wife absolutely loved her salmon dish. As experienced Sydney foodies, we were not expecting such delicious food, delivered to such a high standard. I highly recommend Daniel's Restaurant. Don't bother going anywhere else for dinner!! Seriously!! Thanks guys for making it such a perfect weekend …

Myself and 3 friends went up to the Hunter for a Day on the Green. Great, central location which is a quick bus ride into the Hunter. Accommodation was spacious, comfy and clean. Love the retro decor.

Lauren2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Our experience was overall good. In lieu of finding a spot at an actual winery in the Hunter (due to the holiday weekend), we stayed at Daniel's Restaurant. The accommodation was very quirky and eclectic. The area was large with 2 bedrooms. We were slightly disappointed with the distance from the wineries, however, Daniel offers and affordable and comfortable spot just outside of the main wine area! Daniel was also flexible with our arriving and departure times and with us having to change dates.

The apartment was really nice, Daniel welcoming and we were all very happy staying there. I loved it was attached to a restaurant so we had could have a nice drink when we arrived! The couches, beds and sheets were so comfortable. It has lots of character and we loved all the nice touches, art work and old videos. We would be happy to come and stay again. Thank you Daniel.

Great place to stay with friends..

My girlfriends and I had a fantastic time at Nikki's place. Great location and had all we needed for a great girls weekend away. Would highly recommend and will be to friends and family.

Lauren2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

We were a party of three adult couples in Pokolbin for a family wedding. Nikki's apartment was perfect for us. There was plenty of space for all, a well equipped kitchen and a delightful deck to chill out on. Very comfortable and convenient to Pokolbin venues. We loved walking around the golf course at sunset spotting kangaroos.

Garry2016-11-22T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay for a weekend in the Hunter Valley. Especially loved the gas fire, which made the place very cosy while it stormed outside.

Emma2015-11-15T00:00:00Z

Nikki's place is exactly as pictured. She's a great hostess and was on hand for the one small query that we had on arrival. The house is in a great location and has everything that is needed!

Stephanie2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

Perfect location and very suitable for our group. The option for beds to be set up as twins or queens was great.
